Hoffman’s Playland in Colonie, New York, is closing this weekend after 62 years. The beloved kiddie park has been a summer destination for three generations of Capital Region residents. Jessica Bloustein Marshall spoke with park owner Dave Hoffman earlier this summer. He says it all started with his grandfather, who bought a parcel of land 6 miles outside of Albany in the 1930s to start a farm.
Hoffman’s Playland closes today. It is unclear what will become of the park’s rides. The Albany Business Review reports that the original plan to put them up for auction has been postponed as the Hoffmans consider offers from potential buyers.
